Task 1: What is your current definition of Blended Learning? (click the link and brainstorm)




Before we begin this lesson think:

  1. Wouldn't it be wonderful to keep current on a topic of interest with minimal effort?
  2. If we work together could we get started compiling the most important current articles on Blended Learning without having to read each one?
  3. Could our students do research in this way. Might this be a lesson in Web Site Evaluation?


Task 2: Each team member will choose a different article and take notes to bring back to their group for discussion. Go tohttp://www.scoop.it/t/teacher-tools-for-blended-learning Ideas we found interesting. Use the discussion board found on this page next to Edit discuss the ideas you read about. List the title of the article and make a hot link to it. (Summary and Review)

If the number of resources leaves you a little breathless here are my favorites:


  1. Mr. Carter's office
  2. Student Engagement requires conversation
  3. Flipping your Faculty Meeting
  4. Can Blended Learning Save...
  5. Facilitating Collaborative Learning
